Great saber Rob! I always think of Jaina's sabers as having a violet color.

Absolutely stunning Madcow! :o

Oh and yeah, we too spell it "colour". I think the USA are just frightened of the letter "u" :D

*braces self*

I agree with you mate, its the queens english, spell it properly! ^_^

Yeah, well we had this little spat in the 1770's with England, and since we won, the letter "u" received it's independence too (it was a secret ally of ours ;) ). It was a fringe benefit along with getting July 4th off from work.  :D :D :D


May the force be with you all!

Man, that's an awesome saber!  Love everything about it.  The covertech/d-ring combo....simple, elegant, and a great idea :) 

You should seriously do a run of these next year :)  No pressure. :)

Awesome piece madcow !!!!  Everyone else said what I would say !   I love the covertec/d-ring combo !!!  lol why didnt we think of that before !  lol  Well I speak for myself on that one !

Love the activation switch but my favorite detail is the gold ring on the emmiter with the black accent rings next to them . That really gives it a more ......  fancy/ almost royalty type of feel !   "Ornimental" Elegant !    Really great stuff ! 

I cannot wait to hear the soundfont too !!!  :)   Love your fonts !

We liberated the POW "u" back from yor then-not-White House [Howse?] when we burned it in the War of 1812.  :P In return for that valourous service to her English language HM The Queen honoured us with our own day off, three days earlier than yors... [ok it took another half-century for our 'independence' but we Canookians are more Jedi-patient than our Big Brother to the south eh?] ;) LOL

What a great idea using the connector the way you are for the RICE port! Excellent as always Madcow!!

I have nothing to add to that, except perhaps this:

That is a beautiful saber - clean and elegant and graceful. I can't comment on it's character appropriateness as I've never read any of the EU material... so from a solely artistic background I think it's phenomenal.

Just got round to watching the video - this is really an incredible design all round. The insides look spectacular, with the crystal and the different take on a chassis that you went with here.

The colours you have created with RICE look awesome. Colour mixing really is super cool 8)

I really like the custom activation switch too :)

Wow!  :o What an elegant design. I especially like the switch setup and that emitter is sweeet! The covertec/D-ring combo is an awesome idea, wish I'd thought of it.  :P

Exellent work as always!

How do you spell Canada?  C-eh-N-eh-D-eh.....lol. (it works better when told out loud)

Great build Rob, I too am not familiar with her story (other than the obvious daughter of Leia and Han).

Really nice - elegant, uncluttered and regal, slightly feminine feel - esp like the switch set up. As always, looks convincingly functional/real as a lightsaber with a great design aesthetic. Also the tubing on the chassis rods. And the amount of wires! - very tidy, scary spaghetti potential otherwise  ;)
